Rotherfield questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

For landlords and businesses

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