DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Lower Green

Lower Green: your questions answered

How much does sink repair cost in Lower Green?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lower Green included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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