Sink repair in Meadowhead

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need sink repair in Meadowhead?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Meadowhead

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Meadowhead customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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.
