Need sink repair in Hailes?

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Sink repair at your home in Hailes

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hailes and across Gloucestershire.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Hailes

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Hailes

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
