Common questions in Birchills

Is it messy?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Birchills.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does sink repair cost in Birchills?

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

For landlords and businesses

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birchills as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Birchills. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
