DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle sink repair in Brotherton

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Let us know which floor the room is on
Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can you change a coloured bathroom suite to white?

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

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

What affects the price in Brotherton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

The type of damage
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Unusual colours or finishes
The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

What it’s made of, if you know
A close-up of the damage, in focus
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Brotherton

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Brotherton and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Leaks from the fittings
Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

How to care for the repair

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

Repair chips before they stain
Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not overtighten taps
Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
