Do you need sink repair in Old Brigg?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Brigg. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Old Brigg get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
