When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Sydenham Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Sydenham Hill: your questions answered
Do you work in Sydenham Hill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sydenham Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repairing versus replacing in Sydenham Hill
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
