Your questions about sink repair in Ticehurst
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
