Aftercare tips

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

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair in Birdwell without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Birdwell?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birdwell

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
