Sink repair for Rishangles homes

Sink repair in Rishangles, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rishangles

If you manage property in Rishangles, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

What your basin is made of matters

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 often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
