Sink repair at your home in Box

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Box and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Box

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about sink repair in Box

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Most clients in Box get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Box

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Box as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
