About our sink repair in Balliveolan

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Balliveolan

For anyone letting property in or around Balliveolan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about sink repair in Balliveolan

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Balliveolan?

We do. Technicians travel to Balliveolan from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
