Sink repair for Radfield homes

Sink repair at your home in Radfield

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Radfield

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you work in Radfield?

We do. We send a technician to Radfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Radfield?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Radfield. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace in Radfield?

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 don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
