  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim

Our hiring checklist

Sink repair at your home in Abbey Green

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abbey Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Abbey Green questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does sink repair cost in Abbey Green?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Abbey Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
