Need sink repair in Framilode?

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

About our sink repair in Framilode

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we are called out for in Framilode

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

What affects the price in Framilode

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Framilode

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

When can you do it?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for Framilode?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
