Chipped basin edge, before and after repair

Should you replace it?

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

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about sink repair in North Hill

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, North Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in North Hill

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to North Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price
