What affects the price in Overton

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Overton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Overton

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Overton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

How much does sink repair cost in Overton?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repairing versus replacing in Overton

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
