Sink repair in Brampton, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brampton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Questions from Brampton

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S40 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Brampton

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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