Your questions about sink repair in Fenham

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Sink repair in Fenham without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Fenham

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
