Sink repair for Portway homes

Sink repair in Portway, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Portway

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Portway

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you cover the entire of Worcestershire?

We work UK-wide, so Portway is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work in Portway?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Portway and the rest of Worcestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
