Sink repair for Boldron homes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Sink repair in Boldron, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Boldron

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Boldron.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Boldron

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle 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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
