How we handle sink repair in Rainow

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need sink repair in Rainow

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Rainow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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 you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 affects the price in Rainow

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rainow. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Rainow

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

When can you do it?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Rainow?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
