Sink repair in Aby, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aby. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Aby, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Aby

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Aby: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Aby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Aby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
