How we handle sink repair in Grafton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Your questions about sink repair in Grafton

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Grafton.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Are you accredited?

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Grafton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grafton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
