About our sink repair in Farr

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, we can usually put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we’re called out for in Farr

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Farr and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
