Sink repair for Greet homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greet

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Sink repair at your home in Greet

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Greet

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does sink repair cost in Greet?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Greet. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Greet get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Greet

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
