What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Keekle

Do you work in Keekle?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Keekle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Landlord and trade work in Keekle

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Keekle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need sink repair in Keekle

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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