When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loppington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Your questions about sink repair in Loppington

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Loppington?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
