How we handle sink repair in Bournbrook

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

Repair or replace in Bournbrook?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bournbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bournbrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

  • An original basin worth saving

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about sink repair in Bournbrook

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bournbrook. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
