Sink repair in Sibson

About our sink repair in Sibson

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Sibson

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sibson

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Common questions in Sibson

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Sibson?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sibson for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

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

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What sink repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
