DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Silk Willoughby

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. For a rural home like those around Silk Willoughby, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.

Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included. Somewhere like Silk Willoughby needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there’s no second trip.

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

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
