Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Signs you need sink repair in Cranhill

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Common questions in Cranhill

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

What we cannot put right

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

  • Widespread crazing

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
