How to compare quotes

Sink repair in Ufford, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Ufford

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ufford. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ufford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Questions from Ufford

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Ufford?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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 if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
