Sink repair at your home in Faceby

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

How to compare quotes

The process

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

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Faceby

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Faceby?

We do. We send a technician to Faceby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
