Sink repair in Grasscroft

Sink repair at your home in Grasscroft

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Grasscroft

Will the price change on the day?

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

What does sink repair cost?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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 a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Grasscroft?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Grasscroft

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
