Sink repair in Bishopston

How we handle sink repair in Bishopston

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we’re called out for in Bishopston

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Bishopston

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bishopston. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
