Sink repair in Aston-on-Trent, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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.

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.

Aston-on-Trent: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Aston-on-Trent?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Aston-on-Trent from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Aston-on-Trent

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aston-on-Trent. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Aston-on-Trent

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Aston-on-Trent, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Aston-on-Trent

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
