Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Lower Hook

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Lower Hook. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Are there extra charges for Lower Hook?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
