Sink repair in Birleyhay

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Questions from Birleyhay

What do you need from me?

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

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

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birleyhay

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birleyhay use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. 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’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Birleyhay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
