Signs you need sink repair in Lownie Moor

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lownie Moor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Lownie Moor and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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