The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it 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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Heatley

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Different materials, different repairs

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 polish the repair to suit.

Common problems we fix in Heatley

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
