Do you need sink repair in Hawcross?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hawcross

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Repair or replace in Hawcross?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Hawcross

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.
