Sink repair for Fourlanes End homes

Sink repair at your home in Fourlanes End

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, 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 the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Fourlanes End

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
