Sink repair in St Madoes

Sink repair in St Madoes without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in St Madoes

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PH2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

St Madoes: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does sink repair cost in St Madoes?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PH2 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

Common problems we fix in St Madoes

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
