About our sink repair in Priestland

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Priestland?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
