Signs you need sink repair in Moorend

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

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

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.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Common questions in Moorend

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace in Moorend?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
