Sink repair in Cock Street

Landlord and trade work in Cock Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sink repair in Cock Street without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Cock Street questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Cock Street is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Signs you need sink repair in Cock Street

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
