About our sink repair in Upper Heaton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

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

Repair or replace in Upper Heaton?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Upper Heaton

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Heaton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
