Sink repair near Lyneal

Sink repair in Lyneal, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Lyneal

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you price it without visiting?

Do you cover Lyneal?

We do. We send a technician to Lyneal for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Lyneal

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyneal use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lyneal. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
