10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Holloway

How soon can you come?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How much does sink repair cost in Holloway?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE4 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Holloway

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holloway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Holloway and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holloway

For anyone letting property in or around Holloway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
