Sink repair near Cornelly

Sink repair at your home in Cornelly

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Cornelly

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Bridgend. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will it make a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cornelly, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin often means 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
