Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Walcot. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Walcot questions

Do you cover Walcot?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Walcot and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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