Sink repair for Frankley homes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Frankley questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Frankley included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Frankley

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Frankley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
