Need sink repair in Gailey?

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gailey, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

When to call us in Gailey

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gailey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
