Sink repair for Hollinfare homes

Sink repair in Hollinfare, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.

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

Repair or replace in Hollinfare?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Hollinfare questions

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Hollinfare?

We do. Technicians travel to Hollinfare from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Hollinfare, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Hollinfare

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
