Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Common questions in Farthinghoe

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Farthinghoe?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

When to call us in Farthinghoe

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
