Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Netherthorpe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Netherthorpe

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Most clients in Netherthorpe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Landlord and trade work in Netherthorpe

For anyone letting property in or around Netherthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need sink repair in Netherthorpe

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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.

Repair or replace in Netherthorpe?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
