Sink repair in Brindle without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Brindle

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
