Sink repair in Tong

Sink repair in Tong without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tong

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Tong

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
