Sink Repair in Sefton

How sink repair works in Sefton

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 regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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 care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Repairing versus replacing

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that.

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sefton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sefton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

Common questions in Sefton

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Sefton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?
