Questions from Hendra

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairing versus replacing in Hendra

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hendra use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
