What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

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

Sink repair at your home in East Knighton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

How we price sink repair

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

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for East Knighton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
