About our sink repair in Netherton

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Netherton: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Netherton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Netherton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
