Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wickham Skeith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Wickham Skeith questions

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens next?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Wickham Skeith?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wickham Skeith for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

What kind of damage it is
The material
Doing more than one item at once
The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

The material, if you know it
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
One picture of the entire basin
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
