How we handle sink repair in Wharley End

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wharley End. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Wharley End

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wharley End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Wharley End

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
