What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Vernham Dean

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Vernham Dean?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Vernham Dean. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Vernham Dean. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Vernham Dean, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Vernham Dean. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need sink repair in Vernham Dean

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
