Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair at your home in Woolbridge

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woolbridge as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about sink repair in Woolbridge

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Woolbridge?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolbridge

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolbridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
