Book sink repair in Donyatt

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairing versus replacing in Donyatt

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Do you need sink repair in Donyatt?

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Donyatt. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Questions from Donyatt

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you come to Donyatt?

We do. We send a technician to Donyatt for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
