Sink repair for South Dell homes

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in South Dell without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Dell. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need sink repair in South Dell?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

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

South Dell questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover South Dell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to South Dell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
