Your questions about sink repair in Thomastown

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thomastown.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Sink repair in Thomastown, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Thomastown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Thomastown

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: 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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thomastown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Thomastown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need sink repair in Thomastown?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

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

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
