Sink repair for Four Throws homes

Common questions in Four Throws

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Four Throws?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Four Throws. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 will not last.

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.

Common problems we fix in Four Throws

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we work on in Four Throws

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Four Throws. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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.
