DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Denton?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Denton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Denton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Denton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
