Sink repair for Middleton Moor homes

Sink repair at your home in Middleton Moor

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t 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 usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Middleton Moor?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middleton Moor use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  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 the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

If you’re in Middleton Moor and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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