Sink repair in Rievaulx

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Questions from Rievaulx

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you work in Rievaulx?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rievaulx. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
