Ceramic basin repaired, before and after

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about sink repair in Blackhill

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Blackhill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Blackhill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Blackhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.
