Sink repair for Milton Ernest homes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Milton Ernest, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our sink repair in Milton Ernest

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to compare quotes

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
