When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need sink repair in North Heath?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

  • How your room will be protected

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in North Heath

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common questions in North Heath

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does sink repair cost in North Heath?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
