Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yafforth

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need sink repair in Yafforth

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
