Sink repair in Doddington, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Doddington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doddington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repairing versus replacing in Doddington

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Doddington questions

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
