How we handle sink repair in Boultham

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Repairing versus replacing in Boultham

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Boultham

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Boultham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common problems we fix in Boultham

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
