Sink repair near Battram

Sink repair in Battram without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Battram

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are there extra charges for Battram?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Battram and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Battram

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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