Sink repair near Nis

Sink repair at your home in Nis

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nis

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Nis

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the whole of Na h-Eileanan Siar?

The entire UK, including all of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you come to Nis?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Nis from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
