Sink repair in Hoylandswaine without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need sink repair in Hoylandswaine?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge

  • How the room is protected while they work

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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