Sink repair at your home in Solihull

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
We degrease and key the damage.
We build up the filler and sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched.
We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

What the surface is made of
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
How many areas need work
The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
One picture of the entire basin
A clear, close picture of the problem area
What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Repairing versus replacing

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Repair chips before they stain
Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Solihull

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Solihull?

The whole UK, including all of Solihull. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
