Your questions about sink repair in Singleton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Singleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Singleton

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Singleton

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
