Sink repair in Myrke, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a chipped vanity basin.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Myrke

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Myrke. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Myrke

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
