About our sink repair in Bucknall

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

When to call us in Bucknall

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bucknall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bucknall: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bucknall and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What affects the price in Bucknall

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bucknall. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Bucknall

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
