Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

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 price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Mickley

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Mickley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Mickley questions

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Mickley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TF9 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
