Chipped basin edge, before and after repair

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Catherine Slack

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How it 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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catherine Slack as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Catherine Slack

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
