About our sink repair in Elkesley

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Elkesley

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

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elkesley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. 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, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Your questions about sink repair in Elkesley

Which areas do you work in?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What we’re called out for in Elkesley

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
