Sink repair at your home in Slad

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Slad questions

How do I get a price for sink repair in Slad?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL6 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
