About our sink repair in Minsterley

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Minsterley

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 are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Minsterley: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Minsterley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When to call us in Minsterley

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

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 carefully around original features.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.
