DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Luton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in East Hyde, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why East Hyde customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in East Hyde

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in East Hyde.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LU2 postcode.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
