Sink repair at your home in Cubley

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How soon can you come?

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cubley. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cubley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
