Sink repair near Farlington

Sink repair at your home in Farlington

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Farlington and across Portsmouth.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Farlington. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Farlington: your questions answered

Do you come to Farlington?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you cover the entire of Portsmouth?

Across the UK, so Farlington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Repair or replace in Farlington?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
