Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Bluntisham

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Bluntisham

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bluntisham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bluntisham

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.
