Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

About our sink repair in Mansewood

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Mansewood

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Mansewood is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Are there extra charges for Mansewood?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price
