Sink repair in Millison's Wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Sink repair in Millison's Wood, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
