Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Sink repair in Allen's Green, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving.

Rural addresses like Allen's Green just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allen's Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Allen's Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

In the older streets of Allen's Green, around landmarks like Former Church of St Anne, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Older homes around Allen's Green may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. Somewhere as small as Allen's Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
