Sink repair in Bourton-on-the-Hill

Bourton-on-the-Hill: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

About our sink repair in Bourton-on-the-Hill

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bourton-on-the-Hill as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When to call us in Bourton-on-the-Hill

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Bourton-on-the-Hill

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Bourton-on-the-Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL56 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
