Sink repair for Haythorne homes

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Haythorne. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Sink repair at your home in Haythorne

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

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

For landlords and businesses

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

For anyone letting property in or around Haythorne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Haythorne

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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