DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material

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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Toppesfield

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Toppesfield?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we’re called out for in Toppesfield

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Look out for these signs:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
