About our sink repair in Corntwn

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Corntwn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Corntwn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Common questions in Corntwn

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Corntwn is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can pets and children be at home?

Landlord and trade work in Corntwn

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Corntwn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

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 work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
