Sink repair in Benham Hill

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Sink repair in Benham Hill, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we are called out for in Benham Hill

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
