Need sink repair in Dudley Hill?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Sink repair in Dudley Hill without replacing anything

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dudley Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Dudley Hill

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Dudley Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Dudley Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks

What we’re called out for in Dudley Hill

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Dudley Hill

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
