DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Loosegate

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not 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.

Questions from Loosegate

Do you work in Loosegate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Loosegate and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
