Sink repair in Myerscough Smithy

Sink repair in Myerscough Smithy, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace in Myerscough Smithy?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Myerscough Smithy: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Myerscough Smithy included. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Myerscough Smithy

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures 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
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
