Common questions in Scrub Hill

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Scrub Hill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Scrub Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Sink repair in Scrub Hill, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scrub Hill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
