Sink repair in Tealby

About our sink repair in Tealby

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. 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. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
