About our sink repair in Rockbeare

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Rockbeare

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Common questions in Rockbeare

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
