Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

FAQs for Whitney-on-Wye

My house in Whitney-on-Wye is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Generally, yes. Older basins are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Will you travel to Whitney-on-Wye?

We do: small places like Whitney-on-Wye are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Whitney-on-Wye?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whitney-on-Wye. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there’s no second trip.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
