Sink repair in Brunswick, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Brunswick

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Brunswick

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Are there extra charges for Brunswick?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your M14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

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