About our sink repair in Brampton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Brampton?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
