Common questions in Hightown

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Sink repair in Hightown without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Hightown

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need sink repair in Hightown

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include
