Trusted sink repair in Catworth

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Sink repair in Catworth without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Catworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Catworth: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
