Sink repair in Quebec

Sink repair at your home in Quebec

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Quebec

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Quebec get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Your questions about sink repair in Quebec

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Quebec?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Landlord and trade work in Quebec

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price
