Trusted sink repair in Erdington

Sink repair in Erdington, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Erdington: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Erdington.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

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 quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Erdington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repair or replace in Erdington?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
