Trusted sink repair in Babylon

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Sink repair in Babylon, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Babylon and across Flintshire.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Babylon questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
