Sink repair near Cookley

Sink repair in Cookley, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cookley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cookley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Questions from Cookley

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cookley. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
