What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Seaforth?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need sink repair in Seaforth?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Seaforth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What sink repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
