Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Sink repair in Farnley without replacing anything

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Farnley: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Leeds. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Farnley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Farnley and the rest of Leeds. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What affects the price in Farnley

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need sink repair in Farnley
