DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sink repair in Hathersage without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hathersage and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Hathersage questions

How much does sink repair cost in Hathersage?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
