Sink repair for Harford homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Sink repair in Harford, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Harford questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Harford

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
