Trusted sink repair in Kelvedon Hatch

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Your questions about sink repair in Kelvedon Hatch

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you come to Kelvedon Hatch?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kelvedon Hatch. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
