Sink repair in Hayhill

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

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

Sink repair at your home in Hayhill

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hayhill as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hayhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • 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 price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Hayhill: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you come to Hayhill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hayhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the entire of South Ayrshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
