Sink repair at your home in Brimstage

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Signs you need sink repair in Brimstage

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

Brimstage questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

How much does sink repair cost in Brimstage?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CH63 postcode.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Brimstage

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brimstage. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
