About our sink repair in Sowerby Bridge

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Sowerby Bridge questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does sink repair cost in Sowerby Bridge?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

What sink repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sowerby Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
