Sink repair for Heath End homes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we handle sink repair in Heath End

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
