Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we handle sink repair in Guarlford

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Guarlford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos 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.

Your questions about sink repair in Guarlford

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Guarlford?

We do. We send a technician to Guarlford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
