Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Uplees. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Uplees, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Uplees questions

How much does sink repair cost in Uplees?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME13 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you cover Uplees?

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
