How we handle sink repair in Hockley Heath

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. We’re often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hockley Heath

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common questions in Hockley Heath

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover Hockley Heath?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hockley Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Hockley Heath

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
