Sink repair in Hillway, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Hillway

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PO35 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we are called out for in Hillway

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hillway

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hillway. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hillway, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Most customers in Hillway get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 generally the cheaper route.
