Questions from Barton Bendish

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you work in Barton Bendish?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Barton Bendish. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

About our sink repair in Barton Bendish

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barton Bendish. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
