Sink repair in Woolverstone

About our sink repair in Woolverstone

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Ceramic basin repaired, before and after

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Woolverstone

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Woolverstone

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Woolverstone included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
