Sink repair for Bittadon homes

Sink repair in Bittadon, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Bittadon

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover Bittadon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bittadon and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Bittadon

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
