Signs you need sink repair in Lovedean

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Most customers in Lovedean get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Lovedean

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Lovedean

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
