DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Sink repair in Hallen without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hallen and across Bristol.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hallen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Same prices wherever you are

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

FAQs for Hallen

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Hallen?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hallen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

The process

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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
