Your questions about sink repair in Selston

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Selston?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Selston

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Advice

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NG16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
