How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Hazel Street

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hazel Street. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hazel Street

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Signs you need sink repair in Hazel Street

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Hazel Street

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
