Sink repair at your home in Hoe Gate

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hoe Gate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Hoe Gate

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hoe Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
