Sink repair in Ulnes Walton

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Ulnes Walton questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Ulnes Walton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Ulnes Walton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ulnes Walton and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Ulnes Walton

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting 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’ll reply with a fixed price.
