Sink repair for Willoughby homes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Sink repair at your home in Willoughby

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

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

Our hiring checklist

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

What affects the price in Willoughby

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Willoughby

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you come to Willoughby?

We do. We send a technician to Willoughby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Willoughby

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
