Sink repair for Paley Street homes

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

About our sink repair in Paley Street

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Paley Street

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Paley Street questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Are there extra charges for Paley Street?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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