Sink repair in Paddock

How we handle sink repair in Paddock

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Paddock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Paddock

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • One visit for most repairs

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Paddock

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

FAQs for Paddock

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Paddock?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Paddock from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
