Sink repair for West Keal homes

Common questions in West Keal

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Sink repair at your home in West Keal

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Keal

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace in West Keal?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
