How we handle sink repair in Hurst Green

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hurst Green as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hurst Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurst Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need sink repair in Hurst Green

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Different materials, different repairs

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hurst Green. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
