Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Your questions about sink repair in Hedge End

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hedge End included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hedge End

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hedge End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
