Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Piddington

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Piddington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

FAQs for Piddington

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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 generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Piddington

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

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