Questions from Sneath Common

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How much does sink repair cost in Sneath Common?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How we handle sink repair in Sneath Common

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Sneath Common

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sneath Common. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
