Sink repair at your home in Eynesbury

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Eynesbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Eynesbury: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Eynesbury is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Eynesbury

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
