Sink repair near Upper Caldecote

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Upper Caldecote: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Upper Caldecote?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG18 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Landlord and trade work in Upper Caldecote

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Caldecote, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
