Questions from Way

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Way is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Way

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Way. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Way as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
