How we handle sink repair in Chelford

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve 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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Chelford

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Chelford

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Chelford

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

What affects the price in Chelford

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chelford. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Repairing versus replacing in Chelford

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chelford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

FAQs for Chelford

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you come to Chelford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chelford and the rest of Cheshire East. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
