Sink repair near Winkburn

Sink repair at your home in Winkburn

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace in Winkburn?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Winkburn clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Winkburn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Winkburn questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Winkburn and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What we’re called out for in Winkburn

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Winkburn. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. 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.
