Sink repair for Willingdon homes

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Sink repair at your home in Willingdon

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. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Willingdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Willingdon

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from Willingdon

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Willingdon?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BN22 postcode.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
