Sink repair for Gibb Hill homes

Sink repair at your home in Gibb Hill

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Gibb Hill questions

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Gibb Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Gibb Hill?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Common problems we fix in Gibb Hill

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Before you book anyone
