Sink repair in Houghton on the Hill, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Houghton on the Hill

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you cover Houghton on the Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Houghton on the Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton on the Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
