When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

For anyone letting property in or around Balderton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
