Need sink repair in Hordle?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Sink repair in Hordle without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hordle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Hordle

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hordle. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SO41 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
