West Heath questions

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to West Heath?

We do. We send a technician to West Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need sink repair in West Heath?

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

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

For anyone letting property in or around West Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
