When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Hadleigh Heath

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hadleigh Heath?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hadleigh Heath as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
