Sink repair near Blakeney

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Blakeney questions

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

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

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Blakeney

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Blakeney, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Blakeney

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
