How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hythe End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Hythe End

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Hythe End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
