Sink repair near Wick

About our sink repair in Wick

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Wick

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What we are called out for in Wick

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Wick questions

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Across the UK, and that includes Wick. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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 will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
