Sink repair for The Row homes

Sink repair at your home in The Row

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t 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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in The Row?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Row

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in The Row

The Row: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

When can you do it?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in The Row?

We do. Repair technicians travel to The Row from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How we price sink repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
