Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton-on-Ouse use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newton-on-Ouse. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Newton-on-Ouse

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
