Your questions about sink repair in Lady Bay

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

What affects the price in Lady Bay

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lady Bay, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Lady Bay

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Lady Bay clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

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