Sink repair in Mellor Brook, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Mellor Brook

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Mellor Brook is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What we are called out for in Mellor Brook

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Mellor Brook

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mellor Brook. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace in Mellor Brook?

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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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