10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Prestbury

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Common questions in Prestbury

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How much does sink repair cost in Prestbury?

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Prestbury. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Prestbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Prestbury, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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