Sink Repair in Seatle
Local sink repair for Seatle: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our sink repair in Seatle
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Seatle: your questions answered
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Seatle included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t 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.
