Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.

How we handle sink repair in Kingston Lisle

Your questions about sink repair in Kingston Lisle

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Kingston Lisle?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Kingston Lisle get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston Lisle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
