How we handle sink repair in Catcliffe

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rotherham.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Catcliffe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Catcliffe

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Catcliffe

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

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