How we handle sink repair in Macmerry

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

When to call us in Macmerry

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Macmerry use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Macmerry

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
