Sink repair for Abbey Hulton homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Questions from Abbey Hulton

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Abbey Hulton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
