How we handle sink repair in The Murray

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in The Murray and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What affects the price in The Murray

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The Murray questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Murray

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Murray as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Common problems we fix in The Murray

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
