  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle sink repair in Barrow Street

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Barrow Street questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
