Sink repair at your home in Reddish Vale

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Reddish Vale

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Reddish Vale. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Reddish Vale get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Reddish Vale, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Reddish Vale: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How much does sink repair cost in Reddish Vale?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

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