Sink repair in Henbury

Sink repair in Henbury, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Henbury

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Henbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Your questions about sink repair in Henbury

How much does sink repair cost in Henbury?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH21 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
