Sink repair in Bishop's Moat

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we handle sink repair in Bishop's Moat

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about sink repair in Bishop's Moat

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Landlord and trade work in Bishop's Moat

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop's Moat as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishop's Moat. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Bishop's Moat, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Bishop's Moat

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
