Sink repair near Armitage

Sink repair in Armitage without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Armitage

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Armitage use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WS15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Armitage questions

Do you come to Armitage?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Armitage and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Armitage included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we are called out for in Armitage

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
