10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle sink repair in Fernwood

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Fernwood

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fernwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fernwood

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
