Sink repair in Netherley

Netherley: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it messy?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the whole of Liverpool?

All of Liverpool, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Netherley

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Netherley. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
