Sink repair near Lower Farringdon

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Lower Farringdon

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Farringdon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common questions in Lower Farringdon

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Lower Farringdon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Lower Farringdon?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GU34 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

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

What we are called out for in Lower Farringdon

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge
