How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Snodhill

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

How do I get a price for sink repair in Snodhill?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Snodhill

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
