Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Longroyd Bridge

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are there extra charges for Longroyd Bridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kirklees.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Longroyd Bridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Longroyd Bridge and the rest of Kirklees. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Landlord and trade work in Longroyd Bridge

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

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

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Longroyd Bridge

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
