When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Hook Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Hook Green questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does sink repair cost in Hook Green?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DA13 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are there extra charges for Hook Green?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Hook Green get their price from photos. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
