Sink repair in Litherland

How we handle sink repair in Litherland

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done 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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Litherland questions

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Sefton?

All of Sefton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

What affects the price in Litherland

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Litherland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Litherland

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
