Sink repair near Joyden's Wood

Joyden's Wood: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Joyden's Wood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Joyden's Wood

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Joyden's Wood

  • Belfast and butler sinks

  • Enamelled basins

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
