How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fairbourne. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fairbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LL38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
