Sink repair in East Lavant

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

About our sink repair in East Lavant

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to East Lavant. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

East Lavant questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for East Lavant?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so East Lavant is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
