Sink repair for Northfield homes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Sink repair in Northfield without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Northfield

Do you come to Northfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Northfield and the rest of Aberdeen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Northfield?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northfield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
