About our sink repair in Biddenham

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Your questions about sink repair in Biddenham

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How much does sink repair cost in Biddenham?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover Biddenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Biddenham and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Biddenham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
