Trusted sink repair in Boscombe

Sink repair at your home in Boscombe

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Boscombe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boscombe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boscombe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Boscombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
