Sink repair near Barugh Green

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

About our sink repair in Barugh Green

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Barugh Green

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

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

Will you remove the sink?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Barugh Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
