About our sink repair in Little Barugh

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Questions from Little Barugh

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
