How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Heath Lanes, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Signs you need sink repair in Heath Lanes

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
