Sink repair in Rangemore, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Rangemore: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE13 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Rangemore is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rangemore

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rangemore as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Rangemore

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

Repair or replace in Rangemore?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
