  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

How we handle sink repair in Heanor

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE75 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Heanor

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

FAQs for Heanor

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
