Sink repair in Edgcott

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Sink repair in Edgcott without replacing anything

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Edgcott

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What we are called out for in Edgcott

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Edgcott?

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
