Sink repair at your home in Barrow Hill

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Barrow Hill

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Barrow Hill?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. 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.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlord and trade work in Barrow Hill

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
