Sink repair in Blackdog

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Sink repair at your home in Blackdog

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Blackdog, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Your questions about sink repair in Blackdog

What does sink repair cost?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
