Sink repair near Martin

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Martin as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Sink repair in Martin, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Martin

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Martin. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Martin. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
