Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bank Hey

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about sink repair in Bank Hey

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Bank Hey?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bank Hey and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
