Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Soil Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Soil Hill

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Soil Hill questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How much does sink repair cost in Soil Hill?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
