How we handle sink repair in Little Heath

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Little Heath questions

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Little Heath included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace in Little Heath?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
