What affects the price in Ossett

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ossett. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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 normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about sink repair in Ossett

How soon can you come?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
