Your questions about sink repair in Hirael

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you come to Hirael?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hirael for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How we handle sink repair in Hirael

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
