How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Ilton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Ilton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Your questions about sink repair in Ilton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will it make a mess?

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
