How we handle sink repair in Bolton-le-Sands

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Bolton-le-Sands

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you come to Bolton-le-Sands?

We do. We send a technician to Bolton-le-Sands for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 price, not a guess.

Do you need sink repair in Bolton-le-Sands?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An original basin worth saving

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
