Sink repair in Three Leg Cross

Sink repair in Three Leg Cross without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

Your questions about sink repair in Three Leg Cross

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Three Leg Cross?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Three Leg Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
