Sink repair in Bankfoot without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Bankfoot questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Repair or replace in Bankfoot?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bankfoot

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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.

What your basin is made of matters

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bankfoot

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Common problems we fix in Bankfoot

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
