Landlord and trade work in Temple Fortune

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

When to call us in Temple Fortune

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
