What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Oaks Green. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oaks Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Oaks Green

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

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

Do you need sink repair in Oaks Green?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
