Sink repair for Wardley homes

Sink repair in Wardley without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Wardley

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wardley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

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.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Wardley

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Honest limits

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
