Sink repair near Hackman's Gate

Sink repair at your home in Hackman's Gate

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Hackman's Gate questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hackman's Gate.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Hackman's Gate?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hackman's Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
