Sink repair near Scottow

Sink repair in Scottow without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Do you need sink repair in Scottow?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Scottow

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What affects the price in Scottow

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
