Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Poynings

Can landlords book you?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you work in Poynings?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Poynings for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does sink repair cost in Poynings?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poynings

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need sink repair in Poynings

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

  • Something in shot to show the size
