Sink repair near Lumb Foot

Sink repair in Lumb Foot without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

FAQs for Lumb Foot

Can I add another job to the visit?

How much does sink repair cost in Lumb Foot?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lumb Foot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Lumb Foot, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
