Sink repair in Upper Tean, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about sink repair in Upper Tean

How much does sink repair cost in Upper Tean?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ST10 postcode.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Common problems we fix in Upper Tean

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Upper Tean

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Upper Tean. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
