Sink repair in Borras

Sink repair in Borras without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Borras, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When to call us in Borras

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Borras questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Borras included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
