Sink repair in Bapton, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and a crack near the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need sink repair in Bapton

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
