Trusted sink repair in Southam

Sink repair in Southam without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southam as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Southam

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Southam

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common questions in Southam

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How much does sink repair cost in Southam?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Southam. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CV47 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Southam

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
