What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

About our sink repair in Nethercott

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Do you need sink repair in Nethercott?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Nethercott, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Nethercott

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are there extra charges for Nethercott?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price
