When to call us in Redbourne

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Redbourne

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Redbourne questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Redbourne?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Redbourne

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

What affects the price in Redbourne

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Redbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
