Questions from Sixpenny Handley

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

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

How much does sink repair cost in Sixpenny Handley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sixpenny Handley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sixpenny Handley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: 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 pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sixpenny Handley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
