How we handle sink repair in Netherwood Heath

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Netherwood Heath. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

If you are in Netherwood Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.

Netherwood Heath: your questions answered

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
