Repairing versus replacing in Pickhill

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle sink repair in Pickhill
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Pickhill
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
