How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upperton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we work on in Upperton

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

How the visit works

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

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get 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 reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Upperton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Repair or replace in Upperton?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
