Need sink repair in Waltham on the Wolds?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Sink repair in Waltham on the Wolds without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about sink repair in Waltham on the Wolds

Are there extra charges for Waltham on the Wolds?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Waltham on the Wolds and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
