Book sink repair in Bishops Cannings

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common problems we fix in Bishops Cannings

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Bishops Cannings

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Bishops Cannings?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

What affects the price in Bishops Cannings

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
