Sink repair at your home in Garmston

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. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Garmston

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you work in Garmston?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Garmston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Landlord and trade work in Garmston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we are called out for in Garmston

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
