Sink repair for Tittensor homes

Sink repair in Tittensor without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

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

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  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 it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tittensor

For anyone letting property in or around Tittensor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Tittensor

How do I get a price for sink repair in Tittensor?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
