Sink repair for East Bowling homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

About our sink repair in East Bowling

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

Common problems we fix in East Bowling

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

Questions from East Bowling

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
