Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Mosley Common

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Mosley Common

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Mosley Common?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Signs you need sink repair in Mosley Common

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your M28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
