How we handle sink repair in Wyken

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge.

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Wyken

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wyken as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Wyken

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before booking

Our hiring checklist

FAQs for Wyken

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 photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Wyken?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Coventry?

The whole UK, including all of Coventry. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price
