Sink repair in Victoria Park, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Victoria Park

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Victoria Park

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
