Sink repair in Heale

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Sink repair in Heale without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Heale

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.
