Sink repair in Roughlee

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our sink repair in Roughlee

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Roughlee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Roughlee and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes 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. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BB9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Roughlee

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
