Sink repair for Hundle Houses homes

How we handle sink repair in Hundle Houses

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Hundle Houses questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hundle Houses?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN4 postcode.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Hundle Houses and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hundle Houses use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Hundle Houses

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hundle Houses

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

Different materials, different repairs

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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
