Red Row: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

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

Sink repair in Red Row without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
