How we handle sink repair in Lower Chorley

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we are called out for in Lower Chorley

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Chorley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Chorley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
