What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

FAQs for East Farleigh

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for East Farleigh?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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.
