Sink repair in Mayshill

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Sink repair in Mayshill without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mayshill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Mayshill

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Mayshill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Mayshill

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Mayshill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Surfaces we repair
