About our sink repair in Blackleach

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackleach. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackleach

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Blackleach: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Blackleach

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Common reasons people in Blackleach contact us are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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