Trusted sink repair in Keresley

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Keresley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keresley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When to call us in Keresley

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
