Sink repair in Siddick

About our sink repair in Siddick

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common questions in Siddick

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Siddick?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Siddick. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Do you need sink repair in Siddick?

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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