How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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

When to call us in Laughton

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

What affects the price in Laughton

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Laughton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Laughton: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does sink repair cost in Laughton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
