Sink repair in Rockgreen

Sink repair at your home in Rockgreen

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need sink repair in Rockgreen?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Repairing versus replacing in Rockgreen

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
