Sink repair in Walmley

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Walmley. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Walmley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Walmley

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover Walmley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Walmley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walmley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walmley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
