Sink repair across Sunderland: what to expect

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
The finish is matched to the glaze.
We polish the repair to blend it in.
You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Common problems we fix in Sunderland

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

Crazing in the glaze
A crack near the taps
Chips on a built-in basin
Knocks from hair straighteners

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild cleaners only
Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What affects the price in Sunderland

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sunderland. The price comes down to:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The size and number of damaged areas
Doing more than one item at once
Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
Something in shot to show the size
Natural light rather than flash
What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Sunderland, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
