  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Tidmarsh

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.
