Sink repair in Sutterton Dowdyke

Sink repair at your home in Sutterton Dowdyke

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Sutterton Dowdyke

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Sutterton Dowdyke?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sutterton Dowdyke and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
