Need sink repair in Waingroves?

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair at your home in Waingroves

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Waingroves

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Waingroves

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Waingroves and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Waingroves

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
