Sink repair in Orgill, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Orgill

How much does sink repair cost in Orgill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it messy?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Orgill. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Orgill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Orgill

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
