Sink repair near Midmar

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we handle sink repair in Midmar

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Midmar

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
