Your questions about sink repair in Goadby

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Sink repair at your home in Goadby

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Goadby. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Goadby

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Goadby

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Read our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
