Sink repair in Markethill, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
