Sink repair in St Mabyn

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in St Mabyn without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

Landlord and trade work in St Mabyn

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mabyn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
