Repair or replace in Outer Hope?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded 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 earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Outer Hope

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Outer Hope

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Outer Hope questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How do I get a price for sink repair in Outer Hope?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
