FAQs
How quickly can you arrive for same-day garbage disposal repair in Lancing?
Calls received before 2:00 p.m. are usually attended within 2–4 hours, often sooner if a technician is already in your area. We keep a dedicated local team on standby in Lancing so we can guarantee service before the end of the business day. After-hours or weekend requests are still treated as emergencies, but arrival times may extend to 4–6 hours depending on traffic and parts availability.
What garbage disposal problems can you fix the same day?
Our technicians carry the most common replacement parts and tools on their trucks, allowing them to handle jams, leaks, bad seals, burnt-out motors, humming units, and clogged drain lines right on the spot. If the disposal is beyond economical repair, we can also supply and install a new unit during the same visit, provided the electrical circuit and sink mount are up to current code.
Do I need to purchase a new disposal unit before you arrive?
No. We always start with a full diagnostic and only recommend replacement if the cost of repair approaches or exceeds the price of a new unit. When replacement is the best option, our vans are stocked with several compact, standard, and high-horsepower disposers from trusted brands such as InSinkErator and Moen. This lets us complete 90 % of swap-outs immediately, without a second appointment.
How much does same-day garbage disposal repair typically cost in Lancing?
Pricing has two parts: a fixed service call/diagnostic fee of £49 (waived if we proceed with the repair) and labour/parts. Simple jam removals or reset issues generally run £60-£85 total. Replacing seals, flanges, or wiring averages £110-£160, depending on parts. Full unit replacement, including the disposer, starts at £225 for a 1⁄3-hp model and goes up with horsepower or sound-shielding features. We provide an exact quote before any work begins.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All of our technicians hold City & Guilds plumbing certifications, carry public liability insurance up to £5 million, and undergo annual DBS checks. We back every repair with a 12-month workmanship warranty and honour manufacturer warranties on any new disposers we install. If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return and fix it at no charge.
What can I do while waiting for the plumber to prevent further damage or odours?
1) Turn off the electrical switch to the disposal and, if possible, unplug the unit. 2) Avoid running water into the sink; use a bucket for rinsing dishes so the drain line doesn’t flood. 3) Do not use chemical drain cleaners—they can corrode seals and create toxic splash-back for the technician. 4) If the disposal smells, pour a half-cup of baking soda into the chamber and top with a cup of white vinegar; after the fizzing subsides, flush with a small amount of cold water. 5) Clear the area under the sink so the plumber has easy access, which helps speed up the repair.
