Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we are called out for in Caldy

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Choosing a repair company

Caldy: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wirral.

Do you cover the whole of Wirral?

The entire UK, including all of Wirral. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How much does sink repair cost in Caldy?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
