When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Huntercombe

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Huntercombe

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Slough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Huntercombe

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Huntercombe questions

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Huntercombe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Huntercombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Huntercombe?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
