Sink repair in Crindledyke

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Crindledyke

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

Sink repair in Crindledyke, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Crindledyke questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
