About our sink repair in Airedale

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Widespread crazing

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

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
