Need sink repair in Whitehill?

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Whitehill. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sink repair in Whitehill without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Whitehill

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitehill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Whitehill

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Whitehill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whitehill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Whitehill?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
