Privett: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Privett?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Privett.

Signs you need sink repair in Privett

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that 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.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Advice

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Privett. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Privett, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
