Common questions in Sewerby

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we handle sink repair in Sewerby

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

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.

What affects the price in Sewerby

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Sewerby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Sewerby

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sewerby

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
