How we handle sink repair in Elstronwick

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Elstronwick

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Elstronwick?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Elstronwick and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

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

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Elstronwick

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
