About our sink repair in Potterhanworth

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Potterhanworth: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need sink repair in Potterhanworth?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
