About our sink repair in Badminton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Badminton

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why Badminton customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Badminton: your questions answered

Do you come to Badminton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Badminton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
