Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO51 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in Timsbury

Do you cover Timsbury?

We do. We send a technician to Timsbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Timsbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
