Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Micklethwaite

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Micklethwaite?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Micklethwaite from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Micklethwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Micklethwaite, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Micklethwaite

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Micklethwaite

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

Repairing versus replacing in Micklethwaite

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
