The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Irons Bottom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Irons Bottom

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Irons Bottom questions

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Irons Bottom?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Repair or replace in Irons Bottom?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
