Sink repair in Dudbridge

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair in Dudbridge, done in place

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Dudbridge

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Dudbridge?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work in Dudbridge?

We do. We send a technician to Dudbridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
