Sink repair in Yardley Hastings

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Yardley Hastings

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

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

When to call us in Yardley Hastings

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yardley Hastings

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yardley Hastings as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Yardley Hastings questions

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
