Need sink repair in Burgh?

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Sink repair in Burgh without replacing anything

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Repair or replace in Burgh?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
