Sink repair at your home in Ravenscraig

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and a crack near the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Ravenscraig

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What sink repair costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Ravenscraig

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ravenscraig. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
