What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Barnby Moor

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DN22 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Barnby Moor and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we’re called out for in Barnby Moor

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
