How we handle sink repair in Preston

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Basin with yellowed glaze resurfaced to a clean white finish

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Doing more than one item at once
The material
Access to the area

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Natural light rather than flash
Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
The finish is matched to the glaze.
We polish the repair to blend it in.
Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

Make sure the area is dry
Keep a parking space free if you can
Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Preston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Preston

How much does sink repair cost in Preston?

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

Use a heat mat for hair tools
Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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