Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Holmewood

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Holmewood

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you need sink repair in Holmewood?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, 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 morning or an afternoon, 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. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
