Sink repair for Brigham homes

Questions from Brigham

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Brigham included. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Sink repair in Brigham, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Do you need sink repair in Brigham?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Brigham

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brigham. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
