Sink repair for Greenhill homes

Sink repair at your home in Greenhill

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about sink repair in Greenhill

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the 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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenhill

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. 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. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When to call us in Greenhill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
