Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair at your home in St Annes

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in St Annes

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Annes. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in St Annes

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around St Annes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
