Harlyn: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Sink repair at your home in Harlyn

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin.

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

Repair or replace in Harlyn?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Harlyn

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Harlyn. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need sink repair in Harlyn

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Harlyn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For a price in Harlyn, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
