Sink repair at your home in Meden Vale

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meden Vale

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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