Repairing versus replacing in Double Hill

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. 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.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Double Hill

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Double Hill questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we work on in Double Hill

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

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.
