10 questions to ask before booking

Sink repair in The Hale, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from The Hale

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

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

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How do I book?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

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.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to The Hale. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in The Hale, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
