Questions from Andover

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Andover included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Andover

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 typically cheaper.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

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

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price
