Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlord and trade work in Kirby Muxloe

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirby Muxloe

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Kirby Muxloe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Kirby Muxloe questions

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we are called out for in Kirby Muxloe

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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