Sink repair near Ardsley

Sink repair in Ardsley without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardsley

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Ardsley questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
