Sink repair near Bramford

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Sink repair in Bramford without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

If you’re in Bramford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bramford. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Bramford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Bramford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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