Sink repair in Bibury, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

Your questions about sink repair in Bibury

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Bibury?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bibury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

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.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Bibury

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
