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 work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Johnshaven. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Johnshaven

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

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 quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Landlord and trade work in Johnshaven

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
