Sink repair in Broadbottom

Sink repair at your home in Broadbottom

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broadbottom. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Broadbottom

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Broadbottom, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Broadbottom

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Broadbottom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Broadbottom: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

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

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

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