DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

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

Hemingfield: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hemingfield?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Hemingfield?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

When to call us in Hemingfield

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
