About our sink repair in Upham

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Upham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Upham

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Upham. The price reflects:

Whether we combine several jobs
How many areas need work
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

The material, if you know it
Where you are, by postcode
Any earlier repairs or coatings
A wider photo showing the whole basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Upham

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Upham

For anyone letting property in or around Upham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
The colour is matched by hand.
We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Have a window or extractor fan available
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
