Common problems we fix in Southrepps

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Southrepps questions

What happens after I send photos?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Southrepps. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southrepps

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Southrepps, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
