Sink repair near Blaguegate

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Sink repair in Blaguegate, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blaguegate and across Lancashire.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

FAQs for Blaguegate

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Blaguegate?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blaguegate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

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.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, 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 few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
