Sink repair in Gare Hill

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Sink repair in Gare Hill, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Signs you need sink repair in Gare Hill

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Gare Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in Gare Hill

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
