Sink repair in Brandiston, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Brandiston

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brandiston. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
