Landlord and trade work in Welburn

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

FAQs for Welburn

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
