Sink repair in Maltby

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we handle sink repair in Maltby

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we are called out for in Maltby

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Maltby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Maltby

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Maltby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us
