10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why Great Bookham clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our full price list.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Great Bookham

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Great Bookham?

We do. We send a technician to Great Bookham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
