Sink Repair across Bracknell Forest

Sink repair across Bracknell Forest: what to expect

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together.

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Signs you need sink repair

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
