Sink repair near Troway

Sink repair in Troway, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the price in Troway

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Troway

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Troway?

We do. We send a technician to Troway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How soon can you come?

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
