About our sink repair in Calton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Calton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Calton?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Calton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Calton questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Calton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Calton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Calton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
