Repair or replace in East Hatley?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hatley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in East Hatley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

East Hatley: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need sink repair in East Hatley?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
