Sink repair at your home in Abraham Heights

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Abraham Heights and across Lancashire.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Abraham Heights

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Abraham Heights?

Common questions in Abraham Heights

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
