When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Radfall

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Radfall. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace in Radfall?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Radfall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

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

Getting a price

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

Advice

Radfall: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CT5 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
