Sink repair for Beacon Hill homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 generally cheaper.

How we handle sink repair in Beacon Hill

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

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

Landlord and trade work in Beacon Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beacon Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Beacon Hill. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Beacon Hill questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
