Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Woolhampton

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Woolhampton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RG7 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Landlord and trade work in Woolhampton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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