About sink repair in Isle of Wight

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Prices in Isle of Wight

Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the damage happens

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Repairing versus replacing

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
