Sink repair in Ellerton

Sink repair at your home in Ellerton

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  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 it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Ellerton?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Ellerton questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does sink repair cost in Ellerton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
