Landlords, agents and businesses in South Stour

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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 by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Stour. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add 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.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

South Stour questions

Are there extra charges for South Stour?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Signs you need sink repair in South Stour

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in South Stour?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
