Landlords, agents and businesses in Durley Street

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need sink repair in Durley Street?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

  • Belfast and butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Durley Street. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Durley Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Durley Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
