Sink repair near Medbourne

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Medbourne

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Medbourne?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE16 postcode.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Landlord and trade work in Medbourne

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
