How we handle sink repair in Farhill

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farhill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Farhill?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Farhill: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Farhill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Farhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What your basin is made of matters

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

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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 usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
