Landlords, agents and businesses in Rake

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rake. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Rake

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Rake included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rake, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Signs you need sink repair in Rake

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book
