Sink repair near Upcott

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upcott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Upcott?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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, with colour mixed on site.

Upcott: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Upcott?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.
