Barr: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Signs you need sink repair in Barr
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
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. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Barr clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barr as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
