Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

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

Common questions in Burton in Lonsdale

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burton in Lonsdale

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need sink repair in Burton in Lonsdale

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
