Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

  • Belfast and butler sinks

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Fearn questions

Do you work in Fearn?

We do. Technicians travel to Fearn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Fearn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
