Sink repair near Bardrainney

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Sink repair in Bardrainney, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Bardrainney

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

Common problems we fix in Bardrainney

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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