Trusted sink repair in Lunsford

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Lunsford questions

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
