How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Common questions in Northwick

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you need sink repair in Northwick?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Northwick

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
