Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Newent

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does sink repair cost in Newent?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newent, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newent. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
