How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair at your home in East Lindsey

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in East Lindsey

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Lindsey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from East Lindsey

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Lindsey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
