Sink repair for Arram homes

How we handle sink repair in Arram

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Arram: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Arram

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arram use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Arram. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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