Sink repair for Hollingworth homes

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Hollingworth questions

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Hollingworth?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hollingworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Hollingworth?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Hollingworth
