Common questions in Scholes

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in Scholes?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Scholes

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scholes use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scholes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

There’s 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.

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
