Sink repair near Peterstow

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Peterstow: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Repairing versus replacing in Peterstow

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing.

What we do, step by step

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 check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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