Repairing versus replacing in Moorend

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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Sink repair at your home in Moorend

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Basin with yellowed glaze resurfaced to a clean white finish

DIY kit or professional 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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need sink repair in Moorend?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
