Your questions about sink repair in Barton-upon-Humber

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Barton-upon-Humber

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barton-upon-Humber. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
