Sink repair for Long Drax homes

Sink repair in Long Drax without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Drax

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Drax use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Long Drax, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Long Drax

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

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

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Long Drax. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Long Drax questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Long Drax. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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