How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Healey as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Healey

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Healey

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What does sink repair cost?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How we price sink repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price
