Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Sink repair in Brentor without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

10 questions to ask before booking

Brentor: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Brentor?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Aftercare tips

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
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
