10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Toy's Hill

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Toy's Hill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Landlord and trade work in Toy's Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
