Sink repair for Horsford homes

Sink repair at your home in Horsford

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Horsford: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Horsford is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Horsford

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

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

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Horsford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
