Sink repair in Ravenhead

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Ravenhead questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

What do you need from me?

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

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Ravenhead?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

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
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Ravenhead

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Ravenhead

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ravenhead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
