Sink repair in Halfway House without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Halfway House

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halfway House as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Halfway House, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Halfway House customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Halfway House

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Halfway House

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
