Sink repair near Hartcliffe

Sink repair in Hartcliffe, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Hartcliffe questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bristol.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Hartcliffe

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hartcliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we work on in Hartcliffe

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Repair or replace in Hartcliffe?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
