Need sink repair in Winklebury?

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Sink repair at your home in Winklebury

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Winklebury

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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