Sink repair for Allaleigh homes

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our sink repair in Allaleigh

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we’re called out for in Allaleigh

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Most clients in Allaleigh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Allaleigh?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
