How we handle sink repair in Leaton

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Leaton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Leaton

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Leaton

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Leaton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leaton.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
