FAQs for Temple Sowerby

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Temple Sowerby included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Temple Sowerby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Do you need sink repair in Temple Sowerby?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
