Trusted sink repair in Little Heath

Sink repair in Little Heath without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

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

Your questions about sink repair in Little Heath

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Little Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Little Heath. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
