Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Donington le Heath

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Donington le Heath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Donington le Heath. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Do you need sink repair in Donington le Heath?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
