Sink repair for Bolehill homes

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, 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, with colour mixed on site.

Sink repair in Bolehill without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Bolehill

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Bolehill?

We do. We send a technician to Bolehill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common problems we fix in Bolehill

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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