Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

East Garston Woodlands questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Garston Woodlands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Garston Woodlands use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
