Sink repair near Sollom

Sink repair in Sollom, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

When to call us in Sollom

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Sollom

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Sollom?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

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.

What affects the price in Sollom

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairing versus replacing in Sollom

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
