Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in Mile Oak

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Mile Oak?

We do. Technicians travel to Mile Oak from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairing versus replacing in Mile Oak

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mile Oak. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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