Book sink repair in Lower Welson

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

About our sink repair in Lower Welson

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Lower Welson

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace in Lower Welson?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Welson

Letting agents often 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. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
