About our sink repair in Capstone

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Capstone

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Capstone questions

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Capstone?

We do. We send a technician to Capstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Capstone?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Capstone

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

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
