Sink repair in Fen Street

About our sink repair in Fen Street

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

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

Your questions about sink repair in Fen Street

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fen Street.

Are there extra charges for Fen Street?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need sink repair in Fen Street

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fen Street. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

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

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
