How we handle sink repair in Heyrod

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Heyrod

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What affects the price in Heyrod

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Most clients in Heyrod get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Heyrod. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Heyrod

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
