How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Sink repair in Lower Penarth without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in Lower Penarth

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’ll quote them together.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
