DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Langley Moor. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not 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.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Langley Moor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Langley Moor

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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

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

How much does sink repair cost in Langley Moor?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DH7 postcode.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
