Sink repair for Bosleake homes

Repairing versus replacing in Bosleake

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

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

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Most customers in Bosleake get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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.
