Sink repair for Silver Street homes

About our sink repair in Silver Street

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Silver Street

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Silver Street included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silver Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Silver Street

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Silver Street, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
