Your questions about sink repair in Totternhoe

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Totternhoe?

We do. Technicians travel to Totternhoe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How we handle sink repair in Totternhoe

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Totternhoe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totternhoe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Totternhoe

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairing versus replacing in Totternhoe

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
