Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Honeydon

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Honeydon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Honeydon

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
