What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we handle sink repair in Barrow Nook

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Barrow Nook

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Questions from Barrow Nook

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Barrow Nook is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
