Sink repair in Braunston, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, 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.

What affects the price in Braunston

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Braunston: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you need sink repair in Braunston?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Braunston

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
