Sink repair in Outlane, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.

In a village like Outlane, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Outlane

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle 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.

When to call us in Outlane

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim

Facilities teams at buildings such as Scapegoat Hill Junior and Infant School can book us for toilets and washrooms too.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.

My house in Outlane is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Outlane and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 typically the cheaper route.
