Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Abbots Leigh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we are called out for in Abbots Leigh

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Abbots Leigh. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Abbots Leigh, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Most clients in Abbots Leigh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
