Sink Repair for South Scousburgh homes

Sink repair in South Scousburgh without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Landlord and trade work in South Scousburgh
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets

FAQs for South Scousburgh
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
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 disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Are there extra charges for South Scousburgh?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
