Trusted sink repair in Sheffield

Sink repair in Sheffield, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Sheffield questions

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Choosing a repair company

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheffield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sheffield. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

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