How we handle sink repair in Meir Heath

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Meir Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need sink repair in Meir Heath

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

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 carefully around original features.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Meir Heath

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
