If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

  • Vanity unit basins

About our sink repair in Lundwood

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lundwood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Lundwood

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can landlords book you?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Do you need sink repair in Lundwood?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
