Sink repair near Wickhambreaux

Sink repair in Wickhambreaux, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickhambreaux

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Wickhambreaux

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you come to Wickhambreaux?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wickhambreaux. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Wickhambreaux

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we’re called out for in Wickhambreaux

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving
