What affects the price in Hose

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hose. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Sink repair in Hose, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Common questions in Hose

Are you accredited?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Hose?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hose. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
