Sink repair in Balephuil

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our sink repair in Balephuil

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balephuil

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balephuil use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
