Ceramic basin repaired, before and after

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repairing versus replacing in Hud Hey

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Hud Hey

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 photos.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When to call us in Hud Hey

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
