Overton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

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.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you cover Overton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Overton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Repairing versus replacing in Overton

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Overton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need sink repair in Overton

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
