Sink repair near Hazelhurst

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair in Hazelhurst without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Hazelhurst

Do you work in Hazelhurst?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hazelhurst. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hazelhurst

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
