Sink repair in Loftus

Sink repair at your home in Loftus

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Loftus

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Loftus is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS13 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

What affects the price in Loftus

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Loftus

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. 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. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
