Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Questions from Hope End Green

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does sink repair cost in Hope End Green?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
