About our sink repair in Balmer Heath

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Balmer Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balmer Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Balmer Heath

Do you need sink repair in Balmer Heath?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
