Trusted sink repair in Bradiford

Sink repair at your home in Bradiford

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Bradiford

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Bradiford

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Bradiford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bradiford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on
