What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we work on in Saleby

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LN13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Saleby: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Saleby?

We do. We send a technician to Saleby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need sink repair in Saleby

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

  • A crazed, tired basin

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price
