Your questions about sink repair in Aughton

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Sink repair in Aughton, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Aughton

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
