Sink repair in Roundhay

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sink repair at your home in Roundhay

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roundhay as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairing versus replacing in Roundhay

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

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 frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What sink repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Roundhay and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about sink repair in Roundhay

How much does sink repair cost in Roundhay?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Roundhay?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roundhay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
