Questions from Ellington

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Ellington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ellington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ellington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellington

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
