Sink repair in Ravenglass

Sink repair at your home in Ravenglass

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ravenglass, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Ravenglass

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Ravenglass

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
