Sink repair near Myerscough

Sink repair in Myerscough, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Myerscough

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Myerscough

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

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Myerscough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How much does sink repair cost in Myerscough?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
