Repairing versus replacing in Antony

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Sink repair in Antony without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

FAQs for Antony

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Antony.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Antony

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
