Sink repair in Redmile

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.

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.

Sink repair in Redmile without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Redmile

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Redmile

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Do you need sink repair in Redmile?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
