Your questions about sink repair in Gushmere
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Gushmere?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
