Sink repair in Lady's Well, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. 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.

Common problems we fix in Lady's Well

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Lady's Well

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lady's Well as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
