When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Aylesbeare, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common problems we fix in Aylesbeare

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
