How we handle sink repair in Aldbourne

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aldbourne and across Wiltshire.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When to call us in Aldbourne

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.

  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 generally cheaper.
