If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When to call us in Simmondley

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Simmondley

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Simmondley

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
