Sink repair in Spittlegate

Sink repair in Spittlegate without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spittlegate

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spittlegate use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG31 postcode.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Spittlegate

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
