Sink repair for Boston homes

Sink repair at your home in Boston

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Boston

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Boston. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
