Sink repair near Botany

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we repair

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

About our sink repair in Botany

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Botany

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
