Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Do you need sink repair in Ball?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Ball
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Ball?
We do. We send a technician to Ball for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
