What affects the price in Sole Street

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Sole Street, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Sole Street: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Signs you need sink repair in Sole Street

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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 a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
