Need sink repair in Wallacestone?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle sink repair in Wallacestone

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wallacestone

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about sink repair in Wallacestone

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
