Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Twyford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Twyford

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.

How much does sink repair cost in Twyford?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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