  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

About our sink repair in Somerby

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Somerby as everywhere else we work.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Most customers in Somerby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Somerby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
