Sink repair in Bolham

Bolham: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

About our sink repair in Bolham

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Bolham

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Common reasons people in Bolham contact us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolham

If you manage property in Bolham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Bolham?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Bolham

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
