About our sink repair in Aughton

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 repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aughton and across Lancashire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we’re called out for in Aughton

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

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

Common questions in Aughton

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Aughton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Aughton?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
