Common problems we fix in Parkgate

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

FAQs for Parkgate

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work in Parkgate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Parkgate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Parkgate?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price sink repair

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
