How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Ann's Chapel. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Ann's Chapel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in St Ann's Chapel

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover St Ann's Chapel?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Ann's Chapel for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What do you need from me?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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

Landlord and trade work in St Ann's Chapel

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Ann's Chapel as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need sink repair in St Ann's Chapel?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
