About our sink repair in Nye

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

What affects the price in Nye

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Nye, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Do you cover Nye?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Nye. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Nye?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
