When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Medlar

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

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

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Medlar?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Medlar and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Do you need sink repair in Medlar?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Medlar contact us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Medlar

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Medlar, and we will reply with a fixed price.
