Sink repair in Wath

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

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.

Sink repair in Wath, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wath as everywhere else we work.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Wath: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Wath and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HG3 postcode.

Do you come to Wath?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Wath

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

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