DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Sink repair in Blennerhasset, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Blennerhasset

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blennerhasset

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Blennerhasset

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
