Your questions about sink repair in Ireland Wood

Do you cover the entire of Leeds?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ireland Wood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Ireland Wood

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 pictures.

Common problems we fix in Ireland Wood

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
