Sink repair in Ansteadbrook

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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 typically cheaper.

Sink repair in Ansteadbrook without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Do you need sink repair in Ansteadbrook?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Ansteadbrook

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Ansteadbrook

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
