Sink repair in Little Bentley

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Little Bentley: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How much does sink repair cost in Little Bentley?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Little Bentley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Bentley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Do you need sink repair in Little Bentley?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Little Bentley

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
