Sink repair in Kirby Hill

Sink repair at your home in Kirby Hill

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Kirby Hill

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace in Kirby Hill?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kirby Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
