Sink repair in Whixall

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
