DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sink repair in Sutton, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sutton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Your questions about sink repair in Sutton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

All of St Helens, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What we’re called out for in Sutton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Comparing quotes
