South Hanningfield questions

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How much does sink repair cost in South Hanningfield?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

What affects the price in South Hanningfield

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

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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