Sink repair for Runcton homes

What affects the price in Runcton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How we handle sink repair in Runcton

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Runcton

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price
