Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about sink repair in Frant

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Frant. Prices do not change with location.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

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 clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
