When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

Landlord and trade work in Sefton Park

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Liverpool and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Sefton Park 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.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Sefton Park

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we are called out for in Sefton Park

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
