Sink repair in Saline

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle sink repair in Saline

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked 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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
