About sink repair in Bradford

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

What you will pay

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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bradford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the damage happens

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Bradford: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
