When to call us in Barncluith

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Barncluith?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Barncluith, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Barncluith

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Are there extra charges for Barncluith?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
