Trusted sink repair in St Bees

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to St Bees. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

When to call us in St Bees

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repairing versus replacing in St Bees

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. 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.
