Sink repair for Pittswood homes

Sink repair in Pittswood, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

FAQs for Pittswood

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Pittswood

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pittswood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Pittswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Do you need sink repair in Pittswood?
