Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

About our sink repair in North Hykeham

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Hykeham and across Lincolnshire.

When to call us in North Hykeham

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in North Hykeham

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in North Hykeham

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

North Hykeham questions

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

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.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How much does sink repair cost in North Hykeham?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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