When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Handsworth Wood and across Birmingham.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Repair or replace in Handsworth Wood?

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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Handsworth Wood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Handsworth Wood customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What affects the price in Handsworth Wood

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Handsworth Wood

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you cover Handsworth Wood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Handsworth Wood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 are 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. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Handsworth Wood, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
