Sink repair near Trelew

What affects the price in Trelew

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Trelew questions

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Trelew?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you come to Trelew?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trelew for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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 a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
