Earsham questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Sink repair at your home in Earsham

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Earsham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Earsham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need sink repair in Earsham?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Earsham. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Earsham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
