DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sevington. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Sevington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about sink repair in Sevington

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sevington.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

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 polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
