Sink repair in Hundred Acres

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

How we handle sink repair in Hundred Acres

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Hundred Acres: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hundred Acres?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Hundred Acres?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hundred Acres. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Hundred Acres and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in Hundred Acres

For anyone letting property in or around Hundred Acres, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
