For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Wanborough

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Are there extra charges for Wanborough?

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

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
