What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Leighton

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover Leighton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Leighton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Landlord and trade work in Leighton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Leighton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Signs you need sink repair in Leighton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Leighton

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Leighton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Leighton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
