Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair at your home in Water Newton

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Water Newton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Water Newton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

If you’re in Water Newton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Signs you need sink repair in Water Newton

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

When we would advise against a repair

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Water Newton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
