Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Babbinswood. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Babbinswood
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Babbinswood?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
