How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Gresham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Lower Gresham

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When to call us in Lower Gresham

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

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Lower Gresham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Common questions in Lower Gresham

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do you come to Lower Gresham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lower Gresham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
