Sink repair in Summerhill

Sink repair in Summerhill without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions from Summerhill

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Summerhill customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

  • Chips on the rim or front edge

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Summerhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
