Sink repair in Amberley

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Amberley

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Amberley clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Amberley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about sink repair in Amberley

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Amberley

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
