Mill Corner: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are there extra charges for Mill Corner?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does sink repair cost in Mill Corner?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Mill Corner. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mill Corner. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Mill Corner

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Mill Corner?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

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.
