Dragley Beck questions

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

About our sink repair in Dragley Beck

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
