Sink repair for Roundswell homes

Sink repair at your home in Roundswell

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze.

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Roundswell: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you cover Roundswell?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Roundswell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roundswell

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
