DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scruton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scruton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Scruton

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
