Sink repair in Netherton

Sink repair at your home in Netherton

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Netherton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Netherton

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
