FAQs for Limavady

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you cover the entire of Limavady?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Limavady, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need sink repair in Limavady

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
