Sink repair for Hammerwich homes

About our sink repair in Hammerwich

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Hammerwich questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hammerwich?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

When to call us in Hammerwich

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
