Sink repair in Pear Tree, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need sink repair in Pear Tree?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about sink repair in Pear Tree

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Derby, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What does sink repair cost?

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.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
