Sink repair near Whitehall

What affects the price in Whitehall

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Sink repair at your home in Whitehall

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
