Sink repair near Bowesfield

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

About our sink repair in Bowesfield

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

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

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need sink repair in Bowesfield?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
