Sink repair in Lerryn

Sink repair at your home in Lerryn

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need sink repair in Lerryn

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?

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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price
