Sink repair in Wrenthorpe, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common problems we fix in Wrenthorpe

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

10 questions to ask before booking

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wrenthorpe. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wrenthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Wrenthorpe

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
