Sink repair for Castlefield homes

Sink repair at your home in Castlefield

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
