Sink repair near Magham Down

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Sink repair in Magham Down without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Magham Down. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Magham Down

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Magham Down

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Magham Down use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
