When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins

  • Antique & period basins

Landlord and trade work in Sharow

For anyone letting property in or around Sharow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Sharow

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we’re called out for in Sharow

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Sharow: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are there extra charges for Sharow?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
