Trusted sink repair in Abington Vale

Sink repair at your home in Abington Vale

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When to call us in Abington Vale

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

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

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Abington Vale questions

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Abington Vale?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

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