Choosing a repair company

Sink repair at your home in Wickenby

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Wickenby

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Wickenby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

What happens after I send photos?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Wickenby

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wickenby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Wickenby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Wickenby?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
