Sink repair for Grendon Underwood homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

About our sink repair in Grendon Underwood

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures 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.

Landlord and trade work in Grendon Underwood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grendon Underwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china
