Sink repair in East Carlton

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

How we handle sink repair in East Carlton

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in East Carlton

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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 a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
