Sink Repair in Wiltshire

Sink repair across Wiltshire: what to expect

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

• Get chips repaired early
• Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
• Do not overtighten taps
• Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
