Sink repair in Poulton-le-Fylde

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we handle sink repair in Poulton-le-Fylde

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.

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

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Antique & period basins

Questions from Poulton-le-Fylde

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
