Sink repair near Sutton

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sink repair at your home in Sutton

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sutton

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Sutton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Sutton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
