Sink repair near Littleford

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our sink repair in Littleford

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Littleford

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
