How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Founthill

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work in Founthill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Founthill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Repair or replace in Founthill?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
