Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle sink repair in Hillpark

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Hillpark?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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.

What we are called out for in Hillpark

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Hillpark: your questions answered

Do you come to Hillpark?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hillpark from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Hillpark?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
