How we handle sink repair in Felsted

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Felsted use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Questions from Felsted

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What information do you need?

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

Are there extra charges for Felsted?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Felsted. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
