About our sink repair in Woodhouse Eaves

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
