Sink repair in Poystreet Green

Sink repair in Poystreet Green, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Poystreet Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poystreet Green

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Poystreet Green

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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 you book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
