Repairing versus replacing in Haswell Moor

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

About our sink repair in Haswell Moor

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring.

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price sink repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is 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 reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When to call us in Haswell Moor

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haswell Moor

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haswell Moor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
