About our sink repair in Hugh Town

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Hugh Town

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Hugh Town?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hugh Town. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

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.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Hugh Town

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
