Sink repair for Cartledge homes

What affects the price in Cartledge

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Sink repair in Cartledge, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Cartledge

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
