Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When to call us in Skelton-in-Cleveland

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Skelton-in-Cleveland. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Skelton-in-Cleveland, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Skelton-in-Cleveland

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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