Sink repair in Farley, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

FAQs for Farley

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Farley.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What affects the price in Farley

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Farley. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Farley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Farley

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
