10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

Your questions about sink repair in Uffington

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover Uffington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Uffington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

For a price in Uffington, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
