Sink repair in Bashley, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

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

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

When to call us in Bashley

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bashley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about sink repair in Bashley

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
