Sink repair for Tranmere homes

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tranmere. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sink repair in Tranmere without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

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

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Tranmere customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
