Sink repair in Farnley

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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.

Sink repair in Farnley without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
