Common questions in Northumberland Park

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are there extra charges for Northumberland Park?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Common problems we fix in Northumberland Park

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
