About our sink repair in Boldmere

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Boldmere and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

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

FAQs for Boldmere

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Boldmere?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Boldmere. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Boldmere

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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