Sink repair at your home in Wadshelf

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Use gentle cleaners
Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

Through cracks that let water out
Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
A basin that moves on its brackets

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
