Sink repair for Daneway homes

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Sink repair at your home in Daneway

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Signs you need sink repair in Daneway

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
