Sink repair near Ravenfield

Sink repair at your home in Ravenfield

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

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.

When to call us in Ravenfield

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Ravenfield

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about sink repair in Ravenfield

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Ravenfield?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
