Sink repair for Steeple Morden homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Sink repair in Steeple Morden, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Steeple Morden

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
