Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Your questions about sink repair in Haigh

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

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

When to call us in Haigh

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haigh

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
