How we handle sink repair in Mountain Hare

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Mountain Hare

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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 do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Mountain Hare

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mountain Hare as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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