Sink repair in Ladwell

Sink repair in Ladwell without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped vanity basin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ladwell and across Hampshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ladwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Ladwell

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Ladwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ladwell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How much does sink repair cost in Ladwell?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO21 postcode.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
