Sink repair in Slaugham

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slaugham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Sink repair in Slaugham without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

What affects the price in Slaugham

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Slaugham

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Slaugham

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
