Sink repair in Harper's Gate, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Harper's Gate

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harper's Gate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Harper's Gate

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Harper's Gate

Harper's Gate questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
