Book sink repair in Wollescote

Should I try a DIY kit 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, and the work is guaranteed.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our sink repair in Wollescote

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Wollescote questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Wollescote?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wollescote and the rest of Dudley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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.

When to call us in Wollescote

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wollescote, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Wollescote

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
