Sink repair at your home in Baythorpe

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Baythorpe

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Baythorpe: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Baythorpe. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Baythorpe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
