Sink repair in Kersbrook

About our sink repair in Kersbrook

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Your questions about sink repair in Kersbrook

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kersbrook, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need sink repair in Kersbrook?

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
