How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.

How we handle sink repair in West Heath

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in West Heath, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need sink repair in West Heath

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

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. What it costs 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
