Sink repair in Bradway

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we work on in Bradway

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Sink repair in Bradway without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Bradway

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Bradway

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradway use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
