When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Your questions about sink repair in Astley

Do you come to Astley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Astley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Astley and the rest of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Astley

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Common reasons people in Astley contact us are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
