Need sink repair in Pilsgate?

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

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

About our sink repair in Pilsgate

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Pilsgate

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Pilsgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What does sink repair cost?

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
