How we handle sink repair in Gilberdyke

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Gilberdyke

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Gilberdyke questions

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Gilberdyke and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
