Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Woodbury

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you come to Woodbury?

We do. Technicians travel to Woodbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Woodbury and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
