Sink repair near Baythorne End

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

About our sink repair in Baythorne End

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Do you need sink repair in Baythorne End?

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Baythorne End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
