How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Goathurst Common: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Do you need sink repair in Goathurst Common?

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Goathurst Common

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
