We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Smestow

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Smestow. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in Smestow

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
