Sink repair in Langton Green

About our sink repair in Langton Green

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. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlord and trade work in Langton Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

What we can’t put right

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

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Langton Green

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
