Your questions about sink repair in Moortown

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s 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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need sink repair in Moortown?

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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