Sink repair in Heapey, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Heapey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

FAQs for Heapey

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PR6 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

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

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