Sink repair in Heskin

How we handle sink repair in Heskin

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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 about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Materials we work on in Heskin

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Heskin

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
