Trusted sink repair in Lyng

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Sink repair in Lyng without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Lyng

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lyng. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in Lyng

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lyng included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lyng.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace in Lyng?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair is not the answer

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we work on in Lyng

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
