Sink repair near Newchurch

How we handle sink repair in Newchurch

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries.

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

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  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 which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newchurch

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.
