Sink repair near Knox Bridge

Landlord and trade work in Knox Bridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knox Bridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Sink repair in Knox Bridge without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Knox Bridge

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knox Bridge.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Knox Bridge. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we work on in Knox Bridge

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
