Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Lane Head

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are there extra charges for Lane Head?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We do not add 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.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Lane Head

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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