What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

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

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Overstrand

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

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are 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.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Overstrand, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Common questions in Overstrand

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Overstrand?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
