Sink repair for The Brents homes

How we handle sink repair in The Brents

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The Brents questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so The Brents is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we’re called out for in The Brents

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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

Landlord and trade work in The Brents

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for The Brents. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
