Sink repair near Thundridge

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Thundridge

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Thundridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do I need to be at home?

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. 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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
