Sink repair at your home in Kirkpatrick-Fleming

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash

Your questions about sink repair in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kirkpatrick-Fleming.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our pricing.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
