Sink repair in Bere Ferrers

Sink repair in Bere Ferrers without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.

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

What we’re called out for in Bere Ferrers

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Do you come to Bere Ferrers?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bere Ferrers. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
