Sink repair near Pype Hayes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair in Pype Hayes without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Pype Hayes?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Common questions in Pype Hayes

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Pype Hayes.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Pype Hayes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
