Sink repair in Oatlands

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How we handle sink repair in Oatlands

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

FAQs for Oatlands

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need sink repair in Oatlands?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

Choosing a repair company

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
